Photo taken at Mt. Pollux in Amherst Massachusetts.
Part of an ongoing series.
I'm fascinated by the obsession with nice "Bokeh" held by many photographers.
It seems they want to bathe the subject in a soft and smooth background, but rarely do they consider softened renderings of a lens' out of focus regions to be useful for portraying the subject itself. Without the superficialities of a surfaces it becomes easier to see the intricacies of the light falling upon your subject, and emphasizing the silhouette. This is suited to the vibrance of plants particularly, but I have an upcoming set of portraits coming up too.
View in the light box, and then try standing back a few feet from your screen!
Pollux and Castor in the constellation of Gemini.
I've always been interested in astronomy and am planning to buy a telescope.
Until then I'll have to make do with my 24-70mm lens.

The light pollution in Leeds is pretty bad, so I will make an effort to get out of the centre to get a better view.

The Pollux was a post-World War II pulsejet-powered research vehicle used by the U.S. Navy in developing missiles and testing aircraft components. It was the last and largest vehicle in the important Gorgon series of post-war experimental Navy missiles. The Pollux was unusual in having an internally mounted pulsejet, an attempt to increase the normally slow speed of a pulsejet vehicle by streamlining. It was guided by an active radar and heat-seeking homing system.
The RTV-N-15 made only three test flights from 1948 to 1951 before the program was canceled due to its slow development. This is probably the only remaining example.
